Former Kansas State football player, now cop, catches thief

Former Kansas State defensive back Kip Daily is using his speed for more than football nowadays.

Daily, a rookie officer for the Carrollton (Texas) Police Department, chased and apprehended a man who had stolen a purse.

A post on the department's Facebook page praised Daily's efforts.

"We are all K-State fans at CPD today," the Facebook post said. "A purse snatcher made the REALLY bad decision to run from rookie Officer Kip Daily this afternoon. See, what the bad guy didn't know was that before he caught criminals, Daily caught interceptions as a Defensive Back for the Wildcats. Running is kind of what he does. We are glad he's on our team now."

Daily played for the Wildcats as a member of the team's secondary in 2012 and 2013, recording 49 career tackles.
